What is the ‘I am Research’ Campaign?

This is one of a series of National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) events around the country, as part of the new I Am Research campaign to celebrate International Clinical Trials Day 2017.

For the NIHR, International Clinical Trials Day is an opportunity to showcase the diversity of health and social care research, how you can get involved and the benefits it brings to patients and the public. This is exactly what the 'People are Messy' film screening and Research Fair aims to do.

The film is one hour in length. Please note, some may find the film hard-hitting and it does feature some adult language.

We fund health and care research and translate discoveries into practical products, treatments, devices and procedures, involving patients and the public in all our work. We ensure the NHS is able to support the research of other funders to encourage broader investment in, and economic growth from, health research. We work with charities and the life sciences industry to help patients gain earlier access to breakthrough treatments
